Newb in over his head

[Underthesea81]

Hello,
I recently acquired a ikelite housing for my Olympus c8080 camera as well as a ds50 strobe and ttl sync cable for strobe. Not sure where I can buy the o rings for all parts including housing and strobe, rather than trust it I'd like to replace them and buy enough for some spares.
Also any advice on ensuring the seal is tight on the housing before putting the camera in would be appreciated.
Thank you!

NewB,

Since you acquired your equipment used, it would be wise to send it all to Ikelite Service for a checkout. We can overhaul the housing with all new o-rings, check control functions, and water pressure test to 200' for $125. If anything additional is needed, we will contact you first. We can also include a spare housing o-ring.

Please send your equipment along with a brief letter of explanation and full contact information to:

Ikelite Underwater Systems
attn. Service Dept.
50 W. 33rd St.
Indpls., IN 46208

Please include your name, complete return address, email, phone number, and your stated problem or service request. Normal turnaround time is 2-3 weeks.

Will do, thanks Brett! Should I send the ds50 strobe and ttl sync cable as well?

 

[BrettF]

Yes, that would be best. We can then test your complete system here and do any electronic upgrades that may be available.
